Book Description:
An unexpected surprise brings the Mitchell family of Savannah a chance to
experience the Christmas trip of their dreams. An unexpected disappointment
threatens to turn it into the worst Christmas of their lives. John Finch and
his friend Alfred live in the woods. Been doing it for decades. He likes
wintering in Florida, but this year’s been particularly harsh. Between the
cold, freezing rain and terrifying lightning storms, John’s starting to wonder
how much more of this lifestyle he can take. A new friend enters the picture
and changes everything. Kim Harper, the dog trainer introduced in Rescuing
Finley, is contacted by a billionaire philanthropist seeking her help with a
new dog training project that will help the homeless. Is he for real? And is
her co-worker right? Does this rich, handsome man’s interest in Kim go much
deeper than her dog-training skills?
My Thoughts:
Dan Walsh has written many wonderful books, of them all the Forever Home series are my favorite. Finding Riley is the second book of the series. One of the things I like most about these stories are the chapters where we get to hear the voice of Riley. Written in a realistic way, I could easily imagine the dog having the exact thoughts that Dan portrayed. In the story we are introduced to a homeless camp. I learned from and appreciated Dan's presentation of this. He also does an excellent job of portraying the animal shelter and the role they play. And I loved Jeff, a sweet, sweet boy. And of course I enjoyed the twist of romance lightly threaded through the story. If you love dogs, need a pleasant, uplifting read, or want to escape into a sweet Christmas story, read Finding Riley. I received this book for free.
